Is postgraduate certificate higher than degree?

A postgraduate certificate is generally not considered higher than a degree. A degree is typically a more comprehensive qualification, requiring more study and conferring a higher level of academic achievement. Postgraduate certificates, on the other hand, are often more specialised and focused, and may be taken as a way to enhance or complement a degree.

In the UK, for example, a bachelor's degree is the first degree awarded by a university and is typically followed by a master's degree. A postgraduate certificate is typically a one-year qualification, and is not considered equivalent to a master's degree.

In the US, a postgraduate certificate is typically a qualification offered by a community college or vocational school, and is not considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree.

However, it's important to note that the specific value and recognition of postgraduate certificates can vary depending on the institution offering the qualification, the subject area, and the specific requirements of employers or further education providers.
